So a stay is defined as “consecutive nights”, NOT one night or consecutive nights. So is this a 2 night minimum or just the sloppy language for which Marriott is legend? I would define a stay as one night...but Marriott varied that reasonable definition by requiring 2 night stays in a previous promotion. It’s confusing ( at least to me...)

works for me.
I have 14 1 night stay in the promotion period.
Titanium and Bonvoy card nets me 17.5 extra points. and my hotel is typically 115 / night.
$115 x 27.5 + 2000 points = 5163 points
Here's the best part, the same hotel can be redeemed for 10,000 points. So,
14 stays = 73000 points = 7 nights = 7 (nights) x 115 (rate) x 1.15 (tax) = $925.75 on a spend of $1851.50 = 50% return + 3000 points in pocket. lol.

Outside of 1 Marriott Stay that I have within my reservations, I'm still putting almost all my stays towards Hyatt's promo. I don't earn enough nights to have decent status with a chain, so I just go where I earn the most value for my stays.

Their marketing department has however achieved what generally promotions are meant to do and change / reinforce behaviour! It being Marriott however they got it the wrong way round and they have made sure I stay less at Marriott and reinforced the fact for the last 6 months now I have been doing exactly that! They pushed me to look around elsewhere and I found the grass is definatly greener!

Marriott Bonvoy Lurker Thanks for responding and for registering me. Nothing is appearing on my Promotions tab on the app other than the previous promotions; is this a glitch or was I unsuccessfully signed up?
Thanks!

No offense to Marriott marketing, but this is a very US centered promotion. In Asia, travel has been cut big time since February, and things most likely won't pick up again until June. Not a lot of people are going to be doing their usual amount of stays during the time this promotion is active. With Europe sort of gaining traction with the virus these days, I would guess a lot of travel there will be slimmed down. Maybe not to the extent it is in Asia, but still.
I just see this promotion being a cherry on top for the US based road warrior who is away most of the time but hasn't had any change in their travel due to the virus.

There it is, the much awaited Hammerpromo of the year from Marriott. While others like IHG, Hyatt and Accor spoil their customers, Marriott throws them a few small snot chunks. I am very enthusiastic. And now Im ready to book 100 one Night Stands. Marriott I love you so much
